JUDGE HkKPER ADMITS IT AS LINK IN A CHAIN THAT
NIGHT PROVE GUILT.
The trial of the case Of DR.. Willard II. Crawford
Q. s. NJ arrested on charge OF fornication under,
the Edmunds Utah law, was continued in the Po-
hce Court yesterday after THE STARS report closed
The argument on the question whether the letter
alleged to have been written by Dr. Crawford to
Eva White should be admitted consumed nearly
an hour In answer to question by Mr. c. Maui
rice smith, OF counsel for defense, Mr.. LipScomb
SAID ne Old not claim that up to this time he had
proVe9 the act OF fornicatiOn, but that he had
proved circumstances showing inclination and
opportunity and the letter would be Incompatible
IN connection with the circumstances proved with
any theory except OF guilt. Mr.. Smith made a
long speech, holding that the regulations OF men
and women should not be blasted by torturing
1acts innocent In themselves into suspicious cir
cumstanceS. This case, he said, was brought
through mistaken sense OF duty; through the
over anxiety Of a silly brother.
Judge Harper said that this seemed to him to be
az onense which could only be proved by a chain
OF circumstances and In that view Of the case he
would admit the letter.
Counsel for defense suggested that the letter be
not read put that the court examine it privately.
MI Apscomb, however, insisted upon reading
II, Whefeup0n MI. Moore announced That the de-
tense desired every fact connected with the case
to be made public.

The Printing steal.

The investigation into the state print
ing combine at Springfield is producing
some racy disclosures. 1t seems that
every printer and newspaper in the state
conspiracy to rob the state. The menu
bers of the ring formed nominal part
nershlp and then about half of them sold
ont their interest 10 the remaining mem
bers for $1,000 apiece. 1t was under
stood that the only consideration for this
bribe-it can be nothing else-was the
recipients refusal to compete for the
state printing and permitting the mug 10
secure it at exorbitant prices. They car
ried out the agreement by ne3lectin2 70
bid altogether, or else made imperfect
bids which the state board were Obliged
to reject. Consequently the ring WIS
entirely successful and secured the con-
tract at extravaganza rates. 1t is esli-
mated that the profits will be about $40,
900. The idea of nominal partnership
seems to have been conceived as a device
to evade the penalties of the law, and a
very fimsy device 1t is.
The following provision of the revised
statutes seem to have direct bearing
upon this matter
eli any two or more persons cOnspire
and agree together to prevent
competition in the letting of any contract
by the state, or the authorities of any
county, city. town. or village. or to induce
any person not to enter in such compe-
tition, they shall be deemed
guilty of conspiracy; and every such of
fender, and every person convicted of
conspiracy at common law, shall be i'm
prisoned in the peniteutiary not exceed
ing three years, or fined not exceeding
81 900"

CINCINNATI, March 2S.-At late hour

The principal reason for his stay was a desire
to do what he could in all of his friend
Amor Smith, the Republican candidate for

party was making q strong fight during the
present municipal campaign, and the senator
resolved to stay and convince the qualified
voters of this city that the Republican party
is the true friend of the laborer and ever
watchful of his interest.
Such was the theme of the speech he
delivered to an audience Saturday night

started out by saying that healways thought
it was the duty OF a public man to give all he
could to the interest of his country He then
spoke Of his trip through the southern states
and his visit to Cuba. referring to national
affairs he dweit upon the subject of protec-
ton to American Industry and the monetary
system of the Republican party as compared
with that of the Democratic party. Getting
down to local mat ers he made a proposition
to the workingmen that they can get more
